About this listen

Andrei Tarasov has an intricate tattoo on his back of a circuitboard. The tattoo is appropriate because technology has played a big part in what he does for a living: cybercrime. Tarasov creates tools others use to steal money and data online. While doing e-crime, Tarasov skimmed across borders, out of his native Russia, a country he extensively criticized, including the country’s war against Ukraine, where Tarasov had friends. This criticism comes back to haunt him when authorities catch up to him, and he’s forced to make difficult choices to keep his freedom.
